tsss it looks green with envy or sumpthin tsss

looks like a screen saver

Ann Marie Narreau,
I applaud your courage in telling your story. I was also mistreated there ( I went from 1977-80). The homeroom teachers there were either dim-witted old-timers who didn't know about our true conditions, or abusive tyrants (with a my-way-or-the-highway mentality) who didn't CARE about our true conditions. They were in the wrong, not us (you cannot learn how to be a responsible adult when you're locked away in an isolated room, like I was most of the time). I also have anger from the way they treated us like garbage. I've lashed out on jobs (more frequently than I'd like to admit). That's why I'm unemployed today. I hate society! They expect you to tow their adult line after they couldn't be bothered with you as a kid.
But I WILL own up to one bad mistake that I'm truly sorry for. I apologize to you and the other gaebler girls if some of my bad jokes upset you. If I had only known what kind of hell the gaebler girls REALLY went through, I would not crack my bad sex jokes there. Let's just put it that way.

What was this room used for??

Hey jimzep79, if you read this, can you shoot me an email at:

andrewdbyrd@gmail.com

? You said something about a playground. That would've been located in the south group. It was probably there during your time. Does anybody remember it?

Behind the stage tbere were chaplains' offices and dressing rooms.

What building was it in?

Old soda machines are very collectible right now and this one is a classic from the 1970s. In this condition, it can easily be restored. But, given the fact that this photo was taken over 7 years ago, one must wonder if (A) the machine is still there, and (B) what condition it's in today. I'm a firm believer in the rule "take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints". But when the time comes for this building's demolition, it would be cool if this beauty could be salvaged.

I had got a dream to start my company, however I didn't have enough of money to do this. Thank heaven my close friend recommended to utilize the loan. Thence I received the consolidation loans and made real my desire.

My dad worked there for 37 years and has fond memories of this hospital. He got very emotional when I showed him pictures of inside the old building seen here after some mindless youths have desicrated it like that. Also, he never had any paranormal experiences.

Skills! Vivid green. Love the colors. May you always be well is my daily wish. Thank you, Mr.Motts.

Left behind.......and what it makes me feel: a rusty bed, a sad picture. And the caged window; such despair.

Classic. Timeless. Beautiful picture. To me it tells so much about us human beings. Lock up fellow men; they don´t fit in, they look into the hall thru a round window. A favorite! Always good work, well done, Mr. Motts. Be safe!

Decay perfection! Toll of time! Great shot! Yes, lamp still there! Ahhhhhh that light at the end! Love this! Be well and stay in safety whenever....

Yes, this picture........i like so much. Everything: the colors, the light, the two intact lamps above, and the dark square in the middle. Agree, awesome, Mr.Motts. This is a fine gallery!
